Losin’ It Star Rebounds
Top Gun: Maverick—the sequel to the 1986 blockbuster that established Tom Cruise as an international action star—surpassed $1-billion in worldwide box-office earnings. So says the film’s maker, Paramount Studios. In a career spanning north of forty-years, Cruise has put up some big numbers. Neither Interview With the Vampire, A Few Good Men, The Firm, Jerry Maguire, Rain Man, nor the Mission Impossible franchise were box-office slouches—but none powered past the billion-dollar milestone as Maverick has.
